Al CaponeWas born January 17 1899 and was killed January 25 1947. He was an American crime leader who basically began the crime era. His gang was known for smuggling bootlegging liquor and prostitution. He was involved in crime form the beginning at age 14 he was banned from his school for hitting his female teacher in the face. He was accused of being involved in the St. Valentines day massacre, which was a shooting between several gangs. Capone was arrested for tax evasion and sentenced to life in Alcatraz. He died there of a cardiac arrest.People called him scar face because he insulted a girl at a nightclub and her brother came over and cut him 3 times on the left side of his face. The guy apologized and later became a body guard for Capone. Capone’s castle was a hotel that was basically his after the St. Valentines day shooting that was the capitol for him and his gang.Al Capone became untouchable he bribed the mayor, and operated casinos. He was rich and could do pretty much whatever he wanted. He is quoted for saying “I’m just a business man I give the people what they want.” His rivals however were not big fans Al’s car was always getting shot at by the other gangs. Once he and his entourage were eating at a hotel when about a dozen motorcycles with machine guns and shot guns started shooting at Capone through the windows Capone wasn’t hurt. A boy was hurt so Capone paid for the doctor bill. He then got a truce with the other gang.I think that Capone is actually a pretty nice guy he paid for the kid’s doctor bill. I also think he was involved in some terrible things and deserved to get locked up in Alcatraz. It’s clear though that he is one of the most famous criminals in the world.http://ehttp://www.chicagohs.org/history/capone.html.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone
